Far away from friends & family...

I'm a pretty independent person, I mean ever since my daughter's father and I split....I have picked up a ton of hermit tendencies. However, this weekend was pretty lonely. I'm taking a guided study course and another class on Tuesday/Thursday nights....so technically as of Thursday 9:15, I have been done and free to do what I want. I had a couple of opportunities to travel, either to DC to visit a friend or back up North for a family party. I chose neither due to lack of finances. As I sit here looking around my dorm room, I'm wishing that I went somewhere anywhere...but I didn't

Clearly this blog was just a brain dump...

What have I been up to....

Since moving here in August 2006 with 1 transferable course in my pocket; I have taken 24 four courses, which gives me a total of 27 courses and I am currently enrolled in 4 courses for this summer. I have applied and was hired as an Resident Assistant, served on student government, become the student representative for both technology steering committees on campus, tutored in the learning center, managed to build strong relationships with Administration, Staff and faculty, oh and just in case I forgot to mention raise my daughter alone....

I'm not exactly sure where I was going with this post, maybe it's because I need some motivation, so recalling the last 2 years was supposed to help....

Bad Blogger

I often read this wonderful blog, it's actually the blog that inspired me to chronicle my experiences returning to college. This is the beginning of my second summer in school and I'm starting to get a little tired, but I know I must go on. I'm a little discouraged because my finances are horrible right now and my basic needs are very far from being meet. I try to remain positive, I attempt to focus on my graduation date(next May) but sometimes its uurrggghhhhh. This is why I make every attempt to read Single Ma's blog. I have a feeling that she had moments like this but she made it through and so will I.
